Yesterday, CBS cancelled Friends with Better Lives after just five episodes. That’s a pretty quick decision. The studio thinks it’s too quick.
Friends with Better Lives revolves around six young people who are at various stages of their lives — married, divorced, newly engaged, and single. Each wonders if the others have it better. The cast includes Majandra Delfino, Kevin Connolly, Brooklyn Decker, Rick Donald, Zoe Lister-Jones, and James Van Der Beek.
The sitcom premiered to positive numbers (following the series finale of How I Met Your Mother) but the ratings have fallen quite a bit in subsequent weeks.
The numbers were too low for CBS but 20th Century Fox Television, the studio that produces the show, has decided to try shopping the series elsewhere.
CBS will presumably air the rest of the original 13 episodes so it seems like this would be a very tough sell. Still, you never know. If the studio is motivated enough to make a deal, we may see a second season of Friends with Better Lives yet.
What do you think? Would you like to see a second season of Friends with Better Lives? Would you follow the series to cable or some other outlet?
Don’t cancel this is a great new show. I would follow this show to any network.
FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES is Super Funny! Funniest new sitcom of this season for sure!!! and possibly the top 3 funniest of any sitcoms of THIS SEASON! CBS! COME ON!
Don’t cancel this show! Maybe the studio heads should pull there’s out of the butts. As usual you have a well cast, written and acted show and you throw it away. Why not toss some of the crappy “reality” shows and make room for more sitcoms like this one to the schedule! Guess the people making this decision are related to the idiots that canceled Happy Endings on ABC last season. Makes you wonder why so many people have given up on “free” tv and look to cable or BBC produced shows.
I only really watch The Big Bang The0ry on network tv until this show came along…it is so funny, I was shocked to hear that it was cancelled…I hope someone grabs it and markets it correctly and puts it in the right time slot…it will blow up into a huge hit
This is VERY disappointing I really hope they consider! My husband and I LOVE this show…It’s hilarious! We laugh from beginning to end! PLEASE reconsider or put them on Another network!!!!
Super funny show don’t cancel
funniest new show please dont cancel
Agreed. Networks with knee jerk reactions and executives with near-sighted beer goggles that can’t amke decisions to save their lives.
Also – kinda shocked that FOX wants to keep it alive – they are usually knwon for axing something rpematurely.
Finally why isn’t FOX simply adding it to it’s own channel – doesn’t make much sense.
Friends with better lives is funny and I hope it gets to stay on the air for a long time.
Love this show. Don’t cancel. We have recommended the show to several of our friends!
This so is so funny, why be so quick to cancel it? Maybe first change it’s day and time first.
I was LMFAO thru this show please dont cancel
I agree, the show is so funny. Can’t believe it’s being cancelled. Networks don’t let shows have a bit of a chance any more. If they don’t get huge numbers immediately, it’s over.
Please don’t cancel this show it’s soooooo…funny. Well, CBS is lame they have boring shows anyways. It’s a little too fun and young for them.
I love this show! It deserves a chance. I would watch it no matter what channel or website it aired on.
Don´t Cancel!!! it´s the funniest TV show this year!
